Question rear washer squirting tailgaitors!

my Cherokee is squirting 3 feet when i try to get the rear washer to work. what is up with that? although comical, i would like to fix this. I thought saw a thread about this problem about a month ago but couldn't find it again so i figured id just ask again.

THanks

Make sure the hose is attached correctly to the wiper arm. There is a clip that holds the hose to the wiper arm.

Well, you could fill your reservoir with kerosene install a spark generator and shoot flames at the tailgaters!

Mine does that. I re-attached the hose a while back and the piece actually just broke a few days ago. there is very little to attach the hose to now, and mine shoots out quite a bit. I would say try to shove it back on and use a loc-tie to secure it.
